INTL FCStone Part Ways With Global Head of FX Sales

Finance Magnates on Friday learned that industry veteran Joe Conlan has left his role with INTL FCStone. Conlan was with the financial services giant for over ten years, having taken up his role as Global Head of FX Sales there in 2007.

Publicly available information on Conlan’s LinkedIn page indicates that he has taken up a new role as Managing Director at Colabyrinth Tech LLC.

While the scope of his new role remains unclear, given his wealth of industry expertise, it seems unlikely that it won’t be connected to trading in some way or another. As noted, Conlan has just left a role at INTL FCStone that saw him heading up INTL FCStone’s global FX operations.
